China: Taxi drivers to strike in Hong Kong 11:00-14:00 Nov. 22

Taxi drivers from 17 taxi driver associations plan to strike in Hong Kong 11:00-14:00 Nov. 22 to denounce alleged government inaction on illegal ride-hailing services and a proposed demerit point scheme for taxis. Around 1,000 drivers are expected to participate in the action.

The strike will likely result in reduced taxi availability, though the impact may be minimal as organizers have planned the action for non-peak hours. Increased demand for alternative transport, such as ride-hailing services, buses, and trains, is possible during the work stoppage.
